The SatLink® 2000 VSAT modem is a member of a family of SatLink® products and systems from NSSLGlobal Technologies enabling scalable, high-availability DVB-RCS & DVB-RCS2 networks including VSATs, Hubs, and Hub components, with value-added options for advanced data, voice, and video networking via satellite.

The SatLink® 2000 is the preferred, most cost-effective type of VSAT network, including public ISPs/private encrypted networks. Yet, it has download IP throughput up to 30 Mbps, advanced QoS, and TCP & HTTP Acceleration up to 10 Mbps per connection and delivers highly efficient spectral efficiency by using the DVB-RCS2 standard supporting BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, & 16QAM on TDMA carriers. The SatLink® 2000 has all the value-added IP networking features customers expect well as an SCPC mode for added flexibility. The SatLink® 2000 supports various antenna options, with BUCs/LNBs in C, Ku, Ka, X, and EHF bands.

NSSLGlobal Technologies pioneered the DVB-RCS & DVB-RCS2 protocols working in partnership with the European Space Agency, utilising them on satellite networks to deliver superior performance for telecom service providers, ISPs, NATO and governments, enterprises and partners across the globe additionally offering turnkey integration, installation, and 24/7/365 global technical support. All backed up by the NSSLGlobal Group.

Features and Benefits

Cost-Effective, High-Performance VSAT

The SatLink® 2000 offers exceptional price-performance advantages with 30 Mbps of download IP throughput, excellent availability on all links, TDMA return links up to 4 Msps, and Bandwidth-on-Demand with QoS.

Plug-and-Play Integrated Design

The integrated design greatly reduces installation errors while also reducing installation time and complexity. Integrated tools support the installer.

Scalable Management and Control

Management & control processes are engineered for large networks with up to 10,000 VSATs per DVB-S2 carrier, with automatic software updates via multicast, efficient statistics collection, and fast, easy network-wide reconfigurations, without site visits.

Comprehensive IP Networking Features

SatLink® delivers TCP and HTTP acceleration, secure VPNs, NAT, and VLAN options, as well as a built-in DHCP server and both unicast and multicast IP routing.

Compact, Fanless Packaging

Its small size, fanless design, and external power supply make the IDU ideal for desktop environments in businesses and for residential use.

Bandwidth Efficiency at Many Levels

8PSK and 16QAM on return links with 16-state Turbo FECs, header compression, section packing, burst size optimisation, & intelligent bandwidth-on-demand algorithms assure efficient broadband applications.

SCPC Mode Return

An SCPC Mode for the return (inbound to hub) offers simplicity, performance and spectrum efficiency for a separate high-capacity trunk.

ACM on Forward and Return Links

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) operate on DVB-S2 forward links and RCS2 return links (per burst), enabling maximum two-way link availability. ACM is integrated with SatLink®’s QoS & Traffic Engineering so key customer service levels can be met during fades.

Groups, Traffic Engineering and QoS

Operationally, a SatLink® 2000 will share a capacity pool (with max and min rates) for each service class, shared by a number of SatLink® VSATs in a group. This gives flexibility & control over the service tiers. SatLink® 2000 has advanced QoS features that allow any data and media type to use bandwidth-on-demand while key quality metrics, such as jitter, delay, and throughput, are held within bounds for each VSAT Group and each individual VSAT.

AES-256 Encryption Built-in (option)

Built-in AES-256 secures all user IP traffic at Layer 2 with traffic key per VSAT Group and automatic key updates, fully transparent to TCP acceleration.
